DI Charlie Priest and his team have been called out to a murder. The
suspect is still in the house. It was he who had called it in. During
the interview in which the suspect confirms committing the murder, he
also states that the victim had raped and killed his wife. This was a
revenge killing.
Priest is not satisfied that things are just as they seem. Priest
proposes a number of scenarios that could have resulted in the wife's
death. Meantime, a juvenile car thief is playing havoc with the force,
thereby upsetting the normal routine of a murder investigation.
A photo in the murder victim's house leads Priest on a new quest.
Priest also discovers a closer connection between the killer and the
victim. Therefore, he is not pleased when the killer is granted bail.
But, what can he do?
Another case comes to light from a local prison. A prisoner has asked
that someone be bumped off. It turns out that the certain someone is
Charlie Priest. Although he now has to put up with bodyguards, Charlie
doesn't give up on his quest. Another murder of a young woman in
another jurisdiction comes to light. Is it a copycat, or not? Priest
is determined to find out.
Author Stuart Pawson ties cases together from across the country in this murder mystery to form
the case against the real killer. A very good read, which is hard to
put down.
